Ashish Shinde is in jail for helping Congress leader KK Srivastava, who was absconding earlier. Srivastava is also considered close to Bhupesh Baghel. This entire incident has once again exposed the continuing mutual tussle and factional struggle within the Congress.
The Central Jail of the capital Raipur is once again in the news due to gang -war incidents. On Thursday, two prisoners together were attacked by two prisoners, Ashish Shinde, the Youth Congress leader inside the jail. Another prisoner along with Shinde was also seriously injured in the incident. Both have been admitted to Ambedkar Hospital for immediate treatment, where their condition remains critical.
According to sources, the attack was carried out with a sharp weapon and the attackers directly targeted the head and back. The attack is believed to be the result of factionalism and political rivalry in jail. Both the attack prisoners have been identified at the moment, but their names will be done after the completion of the investigation.
Battle of domination between gangs
According to the information, there has been a war of supremacy between rival groups for some time inside the jail. On Wednesday, there was an incident of assault with a prison guard. It is clear from two serious incidents in two days that there is a situation of tension in the jail. The jail administration has started an internal investigation on this and instructions have been given to deploy additional security personnel in view of security.
Pointing to political enmity
The issue of political rivalry is coming out in the background of the attack. According to sources, the name of another senior Congress leader who has eaten jail in the case of fraud in this attack is also in the discussions. Although the police have not given any official statement on this aspect, the direction of investigation is pointing to political factionalism.
The matter connects with KK Srivastava
It is being told that Ashish Shinde is in jail for helping Congress leader KK Srivastava, who was absconding earlier. Srivastava is also considered close to Bhupesh Baghel. This entire incident has once again exposed the continuing mutual tussle and factional struggle within the Congress.
Question on the credibility of administration
The arrival of sharp weapons such as knives in the central jail, which is considered the safest in the capital and repeated violent clashes between the prisoners raises serious questions on the functioning of the jail administration. Sources say that the dominance of criminal gangs in the jail has increased and the clashes that come on the day are now taking violent form.
Administration gathered under investigation
At present, the police and the jail administration are investigating the entire case. The attackers are being identified and reviews have been started regarding the security system of the jail.
